#1 New York Times Bestseller A People Kid Pick of the week From the
mind of basketball legend and Academy Award-winning storyteller
Kobe Bryant comes this radically original portrait of five young
basketball players, one enlightening coach, and the awesome
transformative power of the game. Filled with insights about the
mental stamina and emotional clarity that peak performance
requires, this is an indispensable story for young athletes,
coaches, educators, and anyone interested in the astonishing
potential of team sports to unlock individual growth. THE GAME WILL
NEVER BE THE SAME Magic doesn't seem possible for the West Bottom
Badgers. They're the lowest-ranked basketball team in their league,
and they live in the poorest neighborhood in Dren. Nobody expects
them to succeed at anything. Plus, every kid on the team has secret
struggles of his own. When a new coach named Professor Wizenard
arrives on the first day of training camp, the Badgers can't
explain the magical-seeming things they see and hear. Every player
experiences unique and strange visions-visions that challenge
everything they thought they knew about basketball, and about their
lives and their secrets off the court. To survive the increasingly
intense ordeals of training, the Badgers will need to take
unimaginable risks, learn to trust their teammates, and confront
the darkness within themselves.

"Combines wonderful characters and history to create a story that
will make you want to dive right in!" JERRY CRAFT, author of the
Newbery Medal-winning New Kid A splashy, contemporary middle grade
graphic novel from bestselling comics creator Johnnie Christmas!
Bree can't wait for her first day at her new middle school, Enith
Brigitha, home to the Mighty Manatees-until she's stuck with the
only elective that fits her schedule, the dreaded Swim 101. The
thought of swimming makes Bree more than a little queasy, yet she's
forced to dive headfirst into one of her greatest fears. Lucky for
her, Etta, an elderly occupant of her apartment building and former
swim team captain, is willing to help. With Etta's training and a
lot of hard work, Bree suddenly finds her swim-crazed community
counting on her to turn the school's failing team around. But
that's easier said than done, especially when their rival, the
prestigious Holyoke Prep, has everything they need to leave the
Mighty Manatees in their wake. Can Bree defy the odds and guide her
team to a state championship, or have the Manatees swum their last
lap-for good? Praise for SWIM TEAM: Harvey Award Best Children's or
Young Adult Book Nominee "A revelation! You'll root for Swim
